Welcome to the list Patrick Whitson. I'm curious about your thoughts on
the BR gods. Do you think they are rather lacking based on the BR Rulebook
mini-descriptions, or do you still feel that way after a look at the Book
of Priestcraft? Without a doubt the deity descriptions are lacking in the
Rulebook, but I always thought the Book of Priestcraft was rather well
done. It does, however, spend a lot of time talking about the various
temple organizations rather than the gods themselves. That, to me, is what
makes the BR gods interesting. The Western Imperial Temple of Haelyn and
Haelyn's Aegis, for example, both worship Haelyn, but they are very
different from each other. Of course, my old BR group (myself included)
tended to strongly prefer demi-human and humanoid characters, so we were
always more interested in interacting with the various churches instead of
the deities themselves.

Is there a general consensus the BR gods are generic? Their areas of
influence are rather broad and "standard issue". I know FR has a heck of a
lot more gods, but that always just confused my simple brain.

Regards
Craig
